An Orange County man is in jail Tuesday after police say he kicked and scratched officers when they questioned his nude stroll through Maitland.

Robin Moretz Campbell left his home in the 300 block of Hope Terrace with no clothes on to walk his dog at 5:14 p.m. Sunday, according to the arrest report.

Responding to calls from neighbors, Maitland Police Officer Nickolas Lawrence asked 20-year-old Campbell where his clothing was and several times Campbell responded: "This is God's house," the report said.

Because of his disoriented nature, Lawrence asked Campbell if he had been drinking and he told the police officer, "You have had some alcohol," then admitted he had eaten mushrooms.

Campbell told Lawrence, "If you don't get out of my way, I'm going to kill you," the report said.

Lawrence and another officer attempted to place Campbell under arrest, but he resisted several times until the officers gave him a Taser shot in his chest — which temporarily incapacitated but didn't stop Campbell.

Officers shot him with the Taser again, at which point Campbell tried to grab the electronic control device from them but was unable to pull it away, the report said.

Eventually police handcuffed Campbell, but he was still able to scratch one of the officer's hands until it started bleeding while also repetitively kicking Lawrence, cops said.

Police hit Campbell with a Taser again in his left thigh area, stopping his attack on police, the report said.

The Maitland Fire Department transported Campbell to Florida Hospital Orlando before officers booked him into the Orange County Jail on two counts of battery of a law enforcement officer, resisting an officer with violence, resisting an officer without violence and exposure of sexual organs.
